— Seeks police neutrality before governorship election
By John Alechenu, Abuja
The Adeleke Campaign Organisation has petitioned the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), alleging misuse of police powers in Osun State ahead of the forthcoming governorship election.
The campaign also called on the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to reassure Nigerians that the Nigeria Police Force would remain neutral and ensure the safety of lives and property during the election.
Speaking with journalists after submitting the petition at the NHRC headquarters in Abuja on Monday, the campaign’s spokesperson, Pelumi Olajengbesi, expressed concern over what he described as alleged human rights violations and security challenges in the state.
